No – Ahoy Hire’s temporary power pole price does not include the power connection fee. You will need to contact your power company to have your power connected. Every power company charges a different connection fee. You will need to pay the connection fee directly to your power company.

Ahoy Hire is able to install the power pole for you. Ahoy Hire’s electrician then performs a test and his inspector performs and inspection. The paperwork is then sent to your chosen power provider who will then send information to the linesman who is then responsible for connection and maintenance.

Upon request, Ahoy Hire can organise same day delivery. Please note that this may come at an additional cost.

Ahoy Hire offers both rubbish cage hire and skip bin hire. Rubbish cages are available in two sizes and are a more affordable alternative to skip bins, offering larger space per dollar value for waste removal for a construction site. However, skip bins are available in four sizes and are suitable for three different types of waste: general waste, heavy/builder waste, and prohibited materials.

Portable Toilets

Yes – Ahoy Hire are able to offer on-site pump and clean services for portable toilets to ensure freshness and comfort. Ahoy Hire also offer 24/7 emergency port-a-loo cleaning call-out services.
How often you clean a port-a-loo will depend on how many people are using the portable toilet and how often. In general, the recommended timeframes are: monthly for 1-3 people, fortnightly for 4-6 people, weekly for 6-12 people, and by arrangement for more than 12 people.
Our portable toilets are suitable for all kinds of events, including festivals, concerts, sporting events, markets, parties and weddings. Speak to our friendly team to discuss how we can cater for your event.
We recommend one toilet for every 50 people at your event. However, there are variables that can change this calculation, such as the ratio of men to women and whether you are serving alcohol at your event. Speak with us to determine the right number for your needs.

We provide fully accessible portable toilets for hire. Our premium fleet of fully accessible portable toilets include a range of special features that make them easy-to-use and accessible for people with a range of disabilities, including safety rails, self-closing doors and a wide turning circle inside.

Whether you need 1, 20, or more portable toilets, there are no strict minimum or maximum hire limits with our services. We can accommodate your needs based on availability. To ensure we can meet your specific requirements, we encourage you to contact us in advance. Our team will work with you to provide the right number of toilets for your event or project.
Emptying a portable toilet involves pumping out the waste from the holding tank. This waste is then transported off site. We use environmentally responsible waste management practices, including taking all waste to a council approved, EPA licensed wastewater processing facility.
Our premium portable toilets include a range of helpful features for comfort and safety, including non-slip floors, lockable doors, ventilation, hand basins, labels for male and female toilets and modern freshwater flushes.

Temporary Fencing

Ahoy Hire’s temporary fencing hire is suitable for a wide range of situations, buildings and sites. This includes fire damaged homes, flood affected areas, property containment, equipment protection, swimming pool containment, safety barriers and more.
Temporary fencing is typically required in situations when you need to secure an area prior to permanent fencing being put in place or on a temporary basis only. This includes building sites, outdoor events, and more.
Ahoy Hire offer two different types of temporary fencing: anti-climb galvanised welded mesh and diamond link. Both temporary fencing hire options fulfil OH&S requirements and are able to withstand extreme weather conditions.
By law, all swimming pools and spas with a depth greater than 30cm must have temporary fencing while under construction. This includes before the pool has any water in it.
